Salmon Ponds and the Museum of Trout Fishing

It was my first visit. The trees and gardens were lovely. I enjoyed the museums too. Wouldve liked to try a pancake but no time today. Grounds were nicely maintained.

So glad we stopped to visit! Loved seeing the fish ponds, and we were lucky enough to see a platypus which lives in the creek over the back but burrows it’s way in for a free feed! Great for the kids to feed the fish, they’re so big! Enjoyed some pancakes in the cafe afterward and purchased some local cider!

Great stop for some history, nice photos, coffee and food just 10km from New Norfolk town centre the entry to the place of a place lined up with trees on both sides gives you a feel of a place you want to capture . There is a large variety of trees and reflections in the pond are just amazing. Best of all the salmon, rainbow trouts and other fish in the pond who you can feed and observe closely when they come up, so many of them. There is ample parking, toilets. Entry fee is $8 for adults and $4-5 for kids as of April 2023 . Have been there twice and will return on our next trip to Tassie

A nice stop pm the way to Mt Field. The place is very well maintained with varieties of trees. You can also feed fish food to salmon and trouts.A fun activity , particularly with kids.Entry fees was 6-7$/person.

Fantastic to go to! We don’t eat fish but loved feeding them in the pond and museum was interesting too. Saw some eels as well as trout and there were more but I have a lack of knowledge about fish. Worth a stop. Although I had some nice crepes there I was a bit disappointed as it says pancakes by the pond and I was expecting pancakes not crepes. I think they need to change it to “Crepes by the pond”

Highly recommend! Food and coffee were top notch. Fish feeding was surprisingly fun, kids and adults had a great time! The staff were also so lovely, thanks for an amazing visit. (Prices are also very good all round)

Visited this place on our trip to Tasmania. It is 45 minutes drive from Hobart City. There is an entry fee and is reasonable. You can buy family ticket. You can feed the fish with using $2 food from a wending machine. The farm is beautifully maintained and you can feed the fish. There are several ponds and variety of fish. You can also visit museum of of Trout Fishing. The area is well kept. There are plenty of parking. Unfortunately you cannot catch the fish. There is a cafe in the premises. Worth visiting this place.

Well maintained property. This is a hatchery with many exotic trees and a few ponds showcasing different types of trout, as well as one type of salmon. Visitors also get access to barbecue facilities. Good place for a family to spend the day. Kids would also be able to feed the fish for $2. Admission for adult is $8 and you get free entrance to the museum.

Did not disappoint! My two sons (13 and 6) enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
